I saw it last Friday. It was so bad I felt like getting up and leaving. Don't waste your money.

Bad everything. The women with cigarette holders didn't know how to hold them. It was a confused hodgepodge. Incest, crazy mother image, lesbian nightclubs...all very unrealistic and boring. By the end of the movie, you just didn't care who did what and to whom. Rolleyes

Then maybe I'll not even bother when it comes out on video. Thanks!

I've been saying it for years, the man goes so far over the top his movies have become all but unwatchable to me. I lost interest in this film the moment I found out he was at the helm. I would much rather see the other noir flick, Hollywoodland, that came out the week before.

My boss saw Hollywoodland last weekend. He said it was really bad.

Pretty much everything sucked. The list could go on and on.

Today I saw this and it was not bad...but not great. One problem was....Josh Hartnett. He made me dull. But Hilary Swank was good.

Brian DePalma's best films were "The Untouchable" and "Phantom of the Paradise" and "Raising Cain". They were great, but "The Black Dahlia" was not like DePalma film.

What do I think about it? Well....I can say a few words. "I hate Josh Hartnett".
